Shortly alter General Regnier had evacuated Es tremadura, his Excellency the Marquis of Romana turned his attention to clearing the posts which the enemy placed on the left b:lng of tbe Tagus; this t iervi,:e was sx cutei by Genetal O'Donnell, with his usual zeal and, activity, In toe of the posts vAich he destroyed at Mconeta,. the enemy lost 200 men, of which numb. 80 privates and two officers were taken,prisoners. Whilst these opera tions were successively carrying on towards laia- Nera, his Excellency received intelligence from in terccpied letters, and from officers commanded to o b ser ve the mOtetnents of the e n em y , that a divi sion was detached from the corps of Monier, and was advancing from Seville, under the command of General Geral, in force 6000 or 7000 infantry, and 500 or 600 cavAry, to o% er-run Estremadura, and cut off the division of Ballasteros, stationed at Xeres '.de los -Cavalk ros. . . his Excel- An consequence of t his informatio n, ltt)q determined to attack and cut ult . the retreat of this division of the enemy, and for this, purpose ordered the cavalry and the vanguard, under the Datuniand of Ge..tieral Carrera, to, advance from C3mpo Mayor to Barcarota, on which point Ballas-. tero,F• had - hien pre‘iously directed to fall back, hilSt his Excellency proceeded with the first di v.iston, cominanded by Genetal Garcia, in order to form a combined attack . on General Geral's corps, which had. Du the ad instant Occupied . Xeres and On the approach of our di% isions, the enemy con cep; rate.' his tome at Z.dra, trojn whence tt:e well direMed and rapid advance of our , trOupsohliged hits -to retreat precipitately to Lierena. The vanguard,' .3d diviSion, and cavalry immediately proceededlo liienveutda., with orders to watch the movements of the'enemy, to reconnoitre his position near Llerena, but on no account to bring.on or hazard an action, until the arrival of his ExcellenCy with the reserve. On the morning of the:llth, the reserve reached Bienvenicla,.after ti most rapid march from La Parra. It was his Excellency's imention to refresh the troops at Bienvenida, and there await the reports of Generals Mendizabal, Ballasteros, and Carrera, who bad,rc-cerved orders, that in the event of the enemy's wishing to bring on an aCtion, they should fall back, and occupy a position a league'in trout of Bienve pick, on , the road to Lierena,where they wo'ula meet the support of the Ist division, or reserve. The sety excellent arrangements that had been lete and efficient state in which the divisions had ben placed, -and our- superiority in number of. every arm to that. of the encinyi in- 1 spired, us with the greatest cor fidence, and afforded well-groanded !lodes of obtaing not only a victory, but of cuippletely cutting off . the retreat of the ene my Co Seville. •• • .otl the arr4-al 'of his ExCellency at Bierivenida, •he bad the mortification to learn that _General Bal lasteros, impelled by , an ardent thirst for glory, and . inspired with a confidence a success. (not a little increased by the ar,,our and impatience of his tr,ops, to close with the enemy) did nut decline the prof 7 fered combat; Lieutenant-General Alendizabal, who command ed, finding the divis , on unexpectedly engaged, and listening only to the dictates of hisown feelings, and, perhaps, deeming a retreat at the moment that his lett was committed in action, hazardous, animated the troops to a general attack on the enemy. The'enemy commenced his attack 'with light troops, on the right of the This was me,int merely to mask his real attack, which he directed , against the left of the hue, towards which he pushed on, with great rapidity, two wrong columns, • and at the same time aeaticed three columns, supported by a reserve,. against the centre of the line, whine the right of B tilasteros's division uu.ted with the van-guard. The impetuosity of the enemy's attack was ,tor some time re t elled more by the gallantry of . patriots, anitnaied by the undaunted ,bravery and , example of their Chiefs, than by the advantage of their position. - The Spanish cavalry, led on by General Carrera, charged that of -the enemy in a gallant manlier, obliging- them to retreat precipitately wall consider able loss; but the impetuosity of our cavalry led them, incautiously to attack . some battaliOns of in fantry, advanrageously posted un ground little la- , vourable to cavalry, and toe consequence v. as, that the well-diretted tire of the battalioits obliged them to retire with some loss: The enemy succeeded in forcing the centre of the line, at the same time that he defeated and mined the left - flanit of liallasteros's division, which being unsupported 'by a second line of reserve, was in con sequLtice unable 'to rally. Some confusion" took, place; some few regiments dispersed ; disorder en sued,. anJ the retreat became general. The enemy having turned the left of Ballasteros's line (which appears to have been the point that should have. been particularly ssrengi hened and guarded,. frotn the, moment that it was determined to risk an ac tion, in order that the division, incase of a defeat; might be enabled to fall back towards Bienvenida) obliged thein to retreat to Fuente de Cantos,. thus considerably diverging from the point dappiii, and thereby prevented from falling back upon, cc re ceiving succour, from the reserve, with which his Eitcellency was. rapidly ascending the above-men tioned position in front of Bienvenida, in order to support the division which he then learned to hate been engaged, but of whose fate or direttion of re real no satisfactory or, exact account had been then received. The General in• Chief has not yet , received details from Nlendizabal or • Ballasteros. 'l.'wenty of -the enemy have been brought in here prisoners.' It is supposed that the 'loss of the enemy in killed and wounded, is at least equal, if not greater • than oars : we have lost more prisoners than the enemy. Insorder to facilitate the inaction of the vad-gdard and third division with the reserve, 'l - 1?s Excellency marched this div6ion rapidly .back to Lns Santos de Mdimona,' near which we' met General Bruton, 'who had arrived from Merida, with 300 fresh ca valry, expecting to join in the general action medi. 7 tated against, the enemy. ,- From Los Santos, the reserve proceeded to this position, w here we have been joined by a part of Ballasteros's division, and a division of the cavalry. Mendizabal is at Burguillos and Ballasteros at caletn, io which points the dispersed soldiers are constantly repairing. . The enemy has concentrated his forces at and near Zan - a, his Excellency only awaits the arrival cat. Geberal Pon Carlos O'Donnell, with the 2A which yesterday reached Almendratego, as also the regiment of cavalry of Bourb(in, and, another rein forcement of cavalry,• which his Lxcellency ex-. peas to arrive frOm'Pottugal, to 'attack Geral's di vision, whieli it is said, has been reinforced. Judging from the state of this army, and their 'unbounded 'attachment to, and confidence in their Chief, and the ardent desire they evince to attack the enemy, the most favouralbe results tuay be ex-, peeled from the next' attion. • I cannot omit detailing the particulars of the rapid march of the first division, nearly fiooo men with ar tillery, from La Parra, to the position in front of Bienvenida, as it proves how' great are the fatigues and privations which, the Span-sh soldier is capable 01 enduring. On the morning of the to, h, the first division, commenced its march froth La Parra, atter taking their mess, and proceeded by Fetia to Zafra, from thence by Los Santos, to the position in front of Bienvenida, when the trecessityof rettim lug to Los Santos, in order to' facilitate the.coromn nicat ioti with Mendizabal and Ballasteros; prevented them from cooking their Mess. _Thus this diviSion performed a march of fourteen leagues in little more than.thirty-Six hours, without entering a house, during the greater part of which time, trie troops were exposed to a burning sun, on an extensive plain, where even water was difficult to be procured ; and although several Officers and ' men fainted from excessive heat and tatigne, the march was performed, and the privations endured, not only with resignation, but even with cheerful ness. The presence of the General in Chief, who is the idol of , 1 he soldiers, Contributed much to cheer and animate the troops. Twenty prisoners have been brotight in by a party of cavalry that. were sent • to reconnoitre the field of battle; they,all state that the enemy 'lost more in killed and woundeo than the Spaniards; b'ut the latter much more prisoners. In one part of the field 250 of the enemy were found dead, and of the party that opposed them, only 57 were killed : in all parts of the field there were more French found dead than Spaniards. •. iiERMANSTADT, JULY 30.'—Except• that' there' - I have been some engagements which , witho ut b e in g decisive, have been to the advantage of the Russians; ....tigements that h.- 3 • v‘e are ignorant of the progress of their arms in Bul - gat ia.

L IV D tV , SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1810. ..T.etters have been received from Holland to the date of the sth inst. It appeiirs . that NAPOLEONS financial proje6t for levying a duty of 50 percent. on all the Colonial prodtice . in. the warehouses in Holland, is not likely to be _so produelive as sup posed. The produce of this oppressive-'dtry was es.limated at 6,000,000 francs, but upon taking an account of the Colbuial produce actually in :the ware houses, it has been discovered that iiteam :mit will fall short of 2,000,000. The untbitunate Holiand- ers'begin thetefcre, with some reason, to fear that some new and more etheient, and c o osti.queotty more oppressive measure witi re,orted to, to repleMsli the exhausted coffers of their tyrant. • - "The reguiatioos teApetting the issue of licenSes are very stria. They direct that the perion wish ; ing to obtain a license shall, Ist, address an appli cation, both in the French and Dutch languages, to the Minister of i dle dater* for that purpose ; 2d, That every vessel must liave a distinct license; 3d, That the application shall state . the name of the, ship'and of the master ; the number of the crew ; the tonnage of the vessel, pet t 2 tons, 0r.2000 killo grammes in one last ; under what colours she is to leave Hon a,nd; (the Pappenburgh,Kniphausen, Otid Oldenburg coloUrs are excluded) ; the . place she • sailed from; , and where she means to proceed to ; what goods she has lOaded, what articles it is intend to bring back, and to , what port she will return. 4th, To the application' must also. be annexed a bond in the usual penalties and conditions. --• Orders had been received from Paris for the eiripment of the Dutch navy with all posiible ex pedition, and Admiral Da WINTER had, in conse quence, proceeded to Antwerp, to superintend and accelerate the operations at that pert. It has generally been found that whenever Duo NAPARTE has determined' upon, an} measure likel: to attraa the attention of mankind, he takes a me• thod very different froxii what has been the usna, policy, for instead of concealing his designs, he con trives to get a rumour of them spread all over'Eu rope ; and if it be a matter. which his power can easily accomplish, the world are prepared to receive it.. as a thing of course: If the point in view ap- 'pears to be too extravagant even itls trey ed,by the world as a Mere report, grounded upon his well known arrogance and ambition, and there fore no measures of precaution are perhaps taken by those who 'are most interested in the event. After the sacrifices which have been made by the King of PRUgSIA to the French Tyrant, and after all the hu- mdialions'and tnortifications i which he has suffere4, the nnrclenting'CorMcan cannot forget that the ,un- fortunate Monarch dared once toe his enemy; 'and hence we now hear that the House of BRANDRN. BURGH iS to be reduced to a private station ! But the Tyrant:is not merely influen . ced by that savage re venge which is, never to be appeased, but he has another favourite minion to provide for in the person of BERTHIEB; and for him, according to report, the 'Crown of Prussia is intended. This BERTHIER, who is already possessed of patt of the former territories of Prussia, and vested with the title of « Prince of Neufchatel," . with the injus tice • and ambition of 'his master, is of course anxious to secure the remainder. , We see by H 'the Continental Prints, 'did' the . unfortunate King of PRUSSIA has been ordered., to redtice his army to. 20,000 men, ,As suMcient for the interior of his do minions, and this order is doubtless preparatory to another,'' for him to resign his throne ! ! But the - manner which the, Corsican Despot has chosen, to deprive the King of Pitussta of his Crown, is exa6tly in chargler with that Despot, for the un happy Monarch has but recently been deprived of his Consort; and while . his heart is ,ago nized with such a loss, the merciless Tyrant is.dis posed to Whet another wound in his breast, and completely to humble him to the dust. It is, in deed, not improbable that the apprehension of such . an event as .seeins to be approaching might have broken her spirit, and hastened the end of her life. How long will such a dreadful 'scourge of man kind be permitted to 'proceed in his career of cruel _ injustice, and every . Dossible depravity ? Surely • the aroused vengeance of itiankind will at length rid the world of such a monster, and render his fate a trernendous warning to the tyrants of • all future ages. NAVAL NEWS. PLYMOUTH, Skrr.
